Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Scallops

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2

Heat the Pan

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until hot.

3

Cook the Scallops

Add the scallops to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.

4

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.

5

Serve

Return the scallops to the skillet, turning to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Serve immediately with additional parsley for garnish.
